How to play
Paint the footprint

A piece's ambit is every square it attacks. Place pieces so their ambits together cover the GOLD squares exactly — nothing more, nothing less.

1
Pick a piece from the rack under the board.
2
Tap any empty square to place it — square colour doesn't matter, and pieces never block each other.
3
Check paints your combined ambit GREEN. You win the moment green covers gold exactly.

Spillover = a life

If a piece attacks any square outside the gold, it flashes RED and you lose one of 3 lives. UNDO takes back a piece, not a lost life.

Pro tips

  • Start with corners and lonely squares — they limit which piece can reach them.
  • Knights cover awkward L-shapes; bishops paint long diagonals; the queen spills easily.
  • Check is free. Spilling isn't.
